Voss is a well-known herb from Poaceae family used in traditional medicine by Unani and Ayurveda. It has been mentioned in the classical ethno-botanical literature since fifth century as a therapeutic and preventive medicine for various ailments, including blood disorders, tuberculosis, bronchitis, asthma, fever, leprosy, strangury, bloody diarrhea, diabetes mellitus, gonorrhea, piles, stomatitis, and amenorrhea. An analysis of phytochemicals from various parts plants has revealed a diverse array of chemical constituents including silicic acid, vitamins, minerals, waxes, resins, benzoic acid, proteolytic enzymes, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds. Furthermore, the herb has undergone diverse assessments via preclinical studies, demonstrating a range of pharmacological activities. But unfortunately the data has not been utilized to prove their efficacy in clinical studies. It is very limited, as compared to the plethora of treasure in Bamboo. This systemic review aims to consolidate the historical and current information on the ethnobotanical characteristics, phytochemical components, extracted metabolites, and pharmacological properties of B. bambos (L.). The information was sourced from literature, including books, research papers, review articles, and reports available in recognized scientific databases, such as Google Scholar, Web of Science, PubMed, Springer Link, ScienceDirect and Elsevier from 1985 to 2023. Additionally, classical Unani texts in Arabic, Persian, English and Urdu were consulted to gather detailed information. This review provides the most current information available on Bambusa bambos (L.). After thorough analysis, a total of 94 articles were used for this review. By aligning this information with the principles of traditional and complementary medicine, this study will provide valuable data that may help researchers and pharmaceutical companies to develop new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of disease However, further research is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms, effectiveness specifically in clinical set-up in addressing different pathologies which can be utilized to cure ailments.","PeriodicalId":41224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medicinal Plants and By-products-JMPB","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s44372-025-00124-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147892589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to study the effects of dryland farming system on some agronomical and physiological traits of D. kotschyi, two separate experiments were conducted in three locations of, Mashad (Golmakan station), Quchan (5km in the northeast of city) and Bojnord (Sisab station) under normal irrigation and dryland farming systems in 2018. The collected data were combined analysis over three locations and mean comparisons were made using Tukey method. The results showed significant effects of locations for all of the traits except carbohydrate contents. Effect of farming system was also significant for all traits. Farming system by location interaction effects were significant for aerial fresh and dry weigh, 1000 seeds weight, proline, DPPH, flavonoid, protein, chlorophyll a, carotenoid, nitrogen and potassium. Result showed the location of Quchan had significantly higher mean values for many of traits followed by Mashad. In comparisons between two method of cultivations, the lower and higher values of plant height (20.6 vs. 25.3 cm), main branch (13.1 vs. 14.9 per plant), leaf area (38.9 vs. 48.3 mm2), flower number (14.6 vs. 23.1 per plant), fresh weight (295 vs. 888 g/plant), dry weight (80 vs. 244 g/plant), 1000 seeds weight (0.27 vs. 0.35 g), Protein (9.74 vs. 11.06%), chlorophyll a (7.47 vs. 8.19 mg g-1FW), carotenoid (0.08 vs. 0.11 mg g-1FW), nitrogen (1.43 vs. 1.77%) and phosphorus (13.89 vs. 20.79 ppm) were obtained in dryland and irrigation farming, respectively.

Fiori and Moringa oleifera Lam. using RAPD, ISSR and various combinations of RAPD and ISSR primers in one multiplex PCR (R-ISSR). 10 primers that produced clear and reproducible fragments after screening of 30 primers were selected for further analysis. A set of 10 primers generated 96 bands ranging in size from 150 to 1600 bp, corresponding to an average of 16 bands per primer and out of which 100 % were polymorphic among 26 individuals. The PIC values ranged from 0.16 to 0.31 and MI values ranged from 2.16 to 4.65 per primer. The primer R-ISSR (H876+A17) had the highest PIC (0.31) and MI (4.65) values. A maximum and minimum genetic similarity values were observed between populations (I and V) in M. oleifera (0.98) and populations (III and IV) in M. peregrina (0.52) respectively. The Gst value was 0.7, indicating that 61% of the genetic diversity resided within the populations. Clustering analysis using average algorithm based on Nei's unbiased genetic distance, classified the Moringa Adans. populations into five major groups. The PCOA data confirmed the results of clustering. The results of this study revealed that R-ISSR markers could be efficiently used for genetic differentiation of the Moringa individuals. The primers used in this article are useful to detection of a high level of polymorphism and it can be used to guide future breeding studies and management of Moringa genus.","PeriodicalId":41224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medicinal Plants and By-products-JMPB","volume":"8 1","pages":"53-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46942804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
